On our recent visit to Charleston, we wanted a tour that felt more intimate and upscale, with a deeper dive into the city’s rich history. After booking through Viator, we were paired with Nick — the owner of Chicora Tours and our guide for the day. What a fantastic choice this turned out to be! Unlike the mass-marketed tours we’ve taken before, this experience felt personalized and thoughtfully curated. Over the course of 1.5 hours, Nick gave us an inside look into Charleston, sharing details and historical insights that were not only engaging but also impressively accurate compared to other tours we’ve taken. His knowledge, passion for the city, and easygoing style made the history come alive in a way we hadn’t experienced before. By the end of the tour, we knew we had made the right decision. Chicora Tours delivered exactly what we were looking for — intimate, informative, and memorable. When we return to Charleston, or when family and friends are looking for a tour, I’ll proudly recommend Nick and his team at Chicora Tours.

Fantastic experience! So much more personal and enjoyable than a packed tour bus. Nicholas brought Charleston’s history to life, taking us through every major landmark—and even a few hidden gems.

Nick was our guide and was incredibly knowledgeable as well as personable!. He even detoured from the trip when we had questions about sites we had seen the previous day. He had interesting and vivid antidotes about the city’s macabre history. Highly recommend Nick to be your guide!
